Resources

I’m often asked about the products and services I use and recommend, so I've decided to create this page with all the information in one place. I currently use or have used all of the resources on this page and I highly recommend all of them.

However, just to let you know, I do make money on some of the products I recommend.

This in no way affects my opinion of these products. If the product or service isn’t of excellent value and quality, you won’t even hear about it from me. Please note - you’ll pay the same purchase price for the product or program whether you purchase through my link or not

Business Tools

Web Design - I use WordPress for a number of different websites. It’s easy to use and incredibly powerful, so you can really create the layout you want. If you go down the WordPress route, you’ll need to choose a theme, one which looks professional, whilst offering you a lot of functionality.

Hosting - I use Hostgator for all my websites. They are very efficient to deal with which make things super easy for setting up your website. I use their Baby plan, which allows you to hose an unlimited number of websites with them. Prices start from $4.95 a month.

Domain Name - Namecheap are a fantastic and reliable domain registrar. Also, if you're struggling to come up with a domain name for your website, this free tool can really help.

Newsletters / Emails - Newsletters are a great way to keep in touch with your students and for attracting new pupils. I use GetResponse for all my email lists as they offer great support by phone, email or live chat.

Also, their sign up forms look great and you can easily insert them into your site. New customers have the option of a FREE 30 day trial.

Accounting - I use the online accounting software, Xero. It's great at saving time on admin e.g. sending invoice, payment reminders etc.

Also, if you are a music teacher, check out Music Teacher's Helper. This software can help you with invoicing, scheduling and many other useful features.
